I'd like to introduce you to our newest release you guys ready for this android 4.1 jelly bean there are a few things about jelly bean we wanted to cover today project butter the first thing we did was improve the system frame rate and make it consistent in jelly bean we also introduced triple buffering in the graphics pipeline let's take a look at another example let's look at the quick contacts animation and again the jelly bean device on the right it animates much more smoothly and much more consistently so let's jump right in watch what happens now when Randall moves that widget to this screen it magically resizes on its own and if you want to do some spring cleaning in jelly bean you can just pick up a widget and toss it off your so we also made a text input on Android a whole lot better in jelly bean we refined and retuned our dictionaries but sometimes your hands aren't free to type which is why android supports voice typing now while voice typing works really well when you have a data connection if you don't have one doesn't work and it can actually be slow if you have a bad connection so in jellybean was shrunk the google speech recognizer to fit on the device itself so Randall's going to put his phone in airplane mode and he's going to use his voice to write an email this is a demonstration of voice typing period words appear even though I don't have a connection period there you go making sure Android works for everyone also means improving accessibility with jellybean we're introducing gesture mode which enables blind users to reliably navigate the UI using touch and swipe gestures in combination with speech output now let's talk about camera the jellybean camera app makes it possible to review photos you've already taken really really quickly as well so Randall is snapping some photos here and you'll notice that there's a new animation of the photo flying out to the right so that tells you with a simple wipe you can bring it back into view and look at the photo you just took you can tap and share this photo as you know or you can keep swiping to look at the other photos you took if you want to go through these photos really quickly just pinch to go to filmstrip view and then you can scroll much faster from here and if you don't like a photo you can easily get rid of it by just swiping it away and if you delete a photo by accident you can always tap undo and bring it right back so that's camera in Ice Cream Sandwich we introduced Android Beam in jellybean we're introducing two new Android Beam features first you can send someone a photo or video by just tapping your phones together and second you can instantly pair and connect your phone with an nfc-enabled Bluetooth device like a speaker or headset by just tapping it with your phone it takes one second absolutely brilliant one of the signature features of android is notifications in jellybean notifications show you more information so here at the top there's a missed call from hero she rather than opening the phone app and calling him back you can do that right from the notification itself just staff on call back it's really quick and easy now if you leave the phone app while you're in this call when you're done you can just go back to notifications and hang up straight from there it's awesome now the gmail notification moves up and automatically expands you no longer needs to open the gmail app at all to see what's going on in in box it's all right there nothing important right now so render why don't we just swipe that away okay now here's a calendar notification and you can see that there's a meeting here at ten-thirty now if you're running late or you can't make it to the meeting you can easily email everyone in the meeting and let them know just type your meal guests and because you'll usually be in a rush when you do this we give you a set of canned responses you choose any of these or of course write your own let's go back to notifications alright so we can see that Romain share the photo on google+ now you can actually see the full bleed photo right here in notifications and you can +1 it or even share it right into your circles all without opening the app here's a notification from foursquare you can quickly like or comment on a friend's check in again without having to open the app in the expanded post news notification here i can see news stories complete with photos and headlines really really powerful stuff
